A GENEROUS RzNEFAcrIoN.

A Gift of About sIOsN0O For the
 Erection of New Chapel on Laws
 renee Street.
 The COURIER has heretofore noticed at some length the movement started in the First Baptist church for the erection of a new mission chapel on Lawrence street, cor ner of Foster, movement which has taken definite shape and form, the intention being to erect the ediace this year. The section is growing one and is already we'll settled and the mission is already we'll established, having been in successful operation for number of years and having outgrown it's mission rooms on Nash street. The mission is large and prosperous one and will start under most favorable financial auspices through the gen. erosity of two of it's friends who have watch ed it's progress with interest and pleasure and contributed hitherto to the promotion of it's welfare. We refer to Prof. and Mrs. Francis Wayland, who have donated for the mission as free gift the lot upon which it stands and $5,000 besides for the erection of the ed flee. The lot is 100 feet front by about 40 feet in depth and the chapel to be erected will be so located upon it that in future years when the growth of the attendance shall de- mand it it can be extended out to the street and then be converted into church of good size. The chapel will be large sized one and of handsome appearance.

A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

A Large Meeting of the Members of
 Calvary Baptist Church-A Request
 Made to Rev. MT. Samson Asking
 Him Not to Resign His Pastorate-
 What Prominent Member Says-Mr.
 Samson Likely to be Influenced by
 the Request.
 Since the announcement was made on Sunday last by the Rev. Mir. Samson, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, that he in- tended to make change and asking for his release the members of his congregation have been actively engaged in discussing the un- expected announcement. The Rev. Mr. Samson has been in charge of the Calvary Baptist for seven years and during that time has endeared himself to all his parishioners. The general feeling was that something ought to be done 10 have their pastor re- tained meeting was held at the church last evening at which about 175 were present. motion was made by MT. B. M. Jerome that Rev. MT. Samson be requested to continue in his pastorate. A rising vote was taken and it resulted in the unanimous adoption of the motion. The request urged Mr. Samson to remain, as it would undoubt- edly be for the best interests of the church. Mr. Samson was waited upon after the meeting and the result announced. He expressed himself as being exceedingly gratifed and compli- mented by the request and the good will shown toward him, but could not definitely answer in the affirmative to it.
 "It is the hope of all the members of the Calvary Baptist" said g prominent member after the meeting last evening, "that the Rev. Mir. Samson will decide to remain among us. A more popular divine could scarce be found. He has ministered to these parishioners for seven years and has won everyone's good will. 1 understand that MT. Samson has expressed himself to the effect that the request presented to- night might influence him to stay. It is the undivided wish of the members of the Cal vary Baptist that he will stay"

HOW TO COOK EGGS.

We boil and fry and turn out leathery
omelets when required, but know few of
the possibilities of really well prepared
eggs. The poorest peasant of southern
EurOpe-France, Spain, Italy, Greece
can prepare an omelet, juicy, savory and
light, or serve you eggs in a dozen other
ways, and there is every reason why we
should follow their example, dispense
with the inOrdinate amount of meat we
eat, and thus with some of the diseases
breakfast less of a problem to the anxious
housekeeper. With fresh fruit, wheat in
grain or some other form, good coffee and
eggs, there is certainly variety enough
and nourishment enough for even hard
working man, and the cost at most is no
more than that of meat, and for much of
the year far less.
TO poach eggs as done in Spain, Mexico
and the East generally, use thick earthen
pan, never an iron one, and let it heat
slowly. Mince a small onion very fine,
or use parsley and sweet herbs instead,
or mixture of all. Melt in an earthen
pan large spoonful of butter, and add
large teaspoonful of salt, saltspoon Of
pepper, and the onion, etc. Drop in the
eggs one by one; do not stir, but let them
brown little; then turn without break
ing yolk and brown on the other side. In
Spain and elsewhere they are served on
the same dish and as hot as possible, and
then the flavor is most perfect. This
may be varied by breaking the eggs and
stirring, as in scrambled eggs. about three
minutes, or just long enough to make
